Front Bumper
The PPI PS Q7® front bumper spoiler looks great with its strikingly styled large air inlets. It features two dedicated fog lamp and optional, two additional high beams, and its refined shape reduces lift on the front axles at high speeds. The center of the bumper has a prominent Matte Carbon Fiber Splitter, that understates the aggressiveness and sportiness of this vehicle.

Side Sills
The PPI PS Q7® side sills form a harmonious transition between front and rear Bumpers and accentuate the sporty yet serious purpose of this vehicle. The leading edge of the side sills have a vent to purge air build-up in the front wheel wells, thereby further increasing stability.

The PPI PS Q7® rear apron features custom cutouts for the 4 pipe stainless-steel PPI sport exhaust system. An integrated diffuser helps reduce lift on the rear axle and also increases directional stability. Also, integrated into the rear bumper are Air-Channels that act to purge air from the underside of the vehicle, further reducing lift on the rear axle. An optional Matte Carbon Fiber Diffuser (also available in aluminum finish) can be fitted to the vehicle as well.

Rear Spoiler
The PPI roof spoiler not only enhances the look of the PPI PS Q7®, but also acts to keep this 2.5 ton vehicle stable at high speeds and under heavy braking.
